Not Me Monday
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
Ok. Here's mine...
It wasn't me (honest) who, uh, borrowed some of my husband's poker change to buy some of my daughter's school fundraising chocolate and to secretly hide it in the freezer intending to savour it for a few days and then ended up eating it all at once.
(who did that, anyway??)
Not me.
(ah-hem)

Manic Monday Meme
What would you do with an extra hour each day?
Blog!!! LOL actually, I hate to admit it, but probably waste more time. Oh, you mean what would I like to do? What tv and eat chocolate!!!! ('cause that's not a waste of time ;)
Do you wear a watch? If so, tell us about it. If not, how do you keep track of time?
I am far too Type A to function without a watch. I feel positively naked without one.
If it was possible, would you want to know how many days you had left to live?
Nope!

Burnt The Chili. Now What?
I'm making another pot. It seems like such a waste, but DH has the most SENSITIVE taste buds in the entire universe and beyond.
I surfed a bit for some suggestions, and read about adding peanut butter to remove burnt flavour. I was desperate enough to try it, and sure enough the burnt taste is gone but now the chili tastes like peanut butter!! (and I only used about 2 tsp for a large pot). Um, yuck.
Sorry the-peanut-butter-saved-me fans. This isn't one of those "wow, it worked!!!" posts.
Correction - I just tasted it again. Not so much peanut butter now - instead, more like vomit. (At least if I had any doubts about cooking it over again, they're now gone ;)

My Cat Is Still Special
Ah yes. The same cat who was leaving juice box straws in her food dish a couple of weeks ago has now taken up permanent residence on my kitchen counter. No amount of tossing her off appears to make any difference.
I tell myself that all the spider killing and lap cuddling is worth it, but sometimes, I tell ya...
What does she want? It's not like I keep open cans of tuna up there. More often than not, it's just some fliers, my open daytimer, and a dusting of spilled coffee grinds. (Maybe that's it... she's a caffeine addict! It would certain explain a lot of things).
On another cat related note - my husband has noticed that since he's been putting Canadian Springs water in their bowl, they've been drinking more. (We have two cats, and apparently we're so flush for funds that we feed them bottled water. It's Evian for my hair washing next.)
Still, if you're a Canadian Springs marketing person, you're linking to this post, ha ha. (On the other hand, seriously - what's wrong with our tap water??!!)
